It’s a given that life is messy. There are times in our lives that are emotionally charged and challenging—maybe even overwhelming—and that’s when connecting with a therapist is useful. Our Individual life experiences and core beliefs are unique, intimately personal, and generally affect every facet of our daily lives including our relationships with others, whether in public or private. Social connection, safety, and belonging are beneficial ways that help in the healing process. We grow for better or worse through the relationships we encounter.

The constant journey of navigating various identities has been a long and arduous task to discover where to fit in and belong. I have a diverse family history and identify as Tejanos, Enrolled Native American, and Caucasian. The sense of being “not enough” for any group impacts the way I understand myself and the importance of finding one’s voice and self love within the various identity intersections. I carry a sense of absolute curiosity and empathy when working with all clients.

I focus on creating a warm environment for my client to feel safe and able to process whatever their wanting to work on. There is no pressure to focus on one topic, as life has it's ups and downs. The treatment plan is created by my client and myself, in order to ensure the focus is on what my client would like to work on .

Do you feel overwhelmed by persistent worry, stress, or sadness, or hijacked by past trauma? Are you struggling with shame and low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in painful relationships and life circumstances? I strive to be a safe, empathic and non-judgmental listener, trusted guide, and empowering source of support. I help clients engage in self-exploration, identify their unique patterns and strengths, develop self-compassion and confidence, face their fears, change their reactions, and experience greater freedom and peace. My clients experience healing from trauma, adverse life events, relationship issues and anxiety.

Life – with all its beauty – is filled with adversity. Struggles may be opportunities for growth and development. Without hardship our capacity to reach our full potential is limited. I encourage clients to look inward, recognize their emotions, and explore their current thought and behavior patterns. My goal is to help clients clarify their values, shift their thinking in a self-compassionate way, and practice new behaviors. My approach includes a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, an experiential creative process (e.g., art, play, sand play), and when appropriate, an existential approach.

Relationships can be our deepest source of pain and have the potential to provide a powerful source for healing brokenness. Couples and families can build better tools to effectively communicate, understand and resolve long term frustrations. We can work together to identify and apply solutions, finding ways to overcome obstacles to achieve more of what you want. Individuals struggling with depression and/or anxiety can discover ways to experience more hope and freedom from symptoms.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience with structured decision-making processes using Functional Family Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy and Trauma Focused-CBT. I maintain a broad specialty in my practice with an emphasis on trauma, abuse, and family.

Hello! My name is Makayla Dulley.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.
